The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` way back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, there were a couple of recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the menus of the rich people of that time. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
